8-10 weeks; 3-5 business days; your call is very important to us

Ah, Qwest, how I hate thee, let me count the ways...

1.  Whenever I call I wait far longer than an "important caller" should wait.

2.  The bills you send me have been wrong EVERY time.

3.  I had to call 3 times to receive the rebate check that was promised us in our bill because you sent it to the wrong address.

4.  I have been calling since September about our $50 visa rebate card that we have still not received.

5.  We had to change the name on the account because you made us and then we were charged the full amount of our bill because we didn't call in and ask you to continue to give us the discount that first time subscribers are supposed to get for a year.  (sorry, figured you would know that on your own)

6.  Now that we have changed the name on our account everything is completely messed up because you never closed my name.  Now when I call, the service representative wants to know why there are two different names on the same account and do I know a Justin Goodwin? 

Trust me darling Qwest if there was another internet server in Marshalltown I would have ended our relationship with you long ago.  Please try harder, I really want this to work.  Your representatives are so professional and kind, if only they followed through...

My little trouble maker.

So lately, Micah has been getting into everything.  I've been trying to take pics now of the funny ones so I can share them with everyone.  Here are a few. 


In these next two photos he had got into my makeup bag and since he had watched me so many times he knew right where the makeup goes.  Unfortunately the carpet got some lipstick too.



This photo he had pushed a chair up to the counter to the left of the stove.  Crawled across the stove, poured all my salt and a few sprinkles of pepper into the pan on the stove.  Unscrewed and sprinkled some of my oregano all over the counter.  And yes he's crying in the picture because he got caught, I never even got a chance to scold him, I was laughing too hard.


This next photo goes with the previous one.  I had foolishly left the dishwasher door open as well and he likes to help me put the silverware away.  Since I wasn't there to open the drawer for him, he simply put them in a pile in front of the drawer.  He did all this in 5 minutes.


One more, this one happened today while I was standing next to him.  I always wondered how long he'd wait before he climbed in here for the first time.


I'll try to post these as they happen from now on...
